Harris Health’s Towering Leap Forward: A New Era of Healing Rises in Northeast Houston



Houston is no stranger to innovation, and Harris Health is making sure the momentum doesn’t skip a beat. A bold new chapter in healthcare is unfolding in the heart of northeast Houston, where Harris Health is building a state-of-the-art 12-story Level I trauma-capable hospital on the campus of Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital.

This isn’t just a new hospital—it’s a monumental step toward healthcare equity and emergency response access for underserved communities in Harris County. With 390 private patient rooms and the blueprint to expand to 450, this towering facility will stand tall as a regional hub for critical trauma care, reshaping the landscape of community health across southeast Texas.


Designed to meet the gold-standard criteria for Level I trauma facilities, the new hospital will be only the third of its kind in Harris County—and the first ever built outside of the Texas Medical Center. That’s not just progress—it’s history in the making.

More than just concrete and cranes, this project represents Harris Health’s commitment to lifesaving access and resilience in a growing region. As construction pushes skyward, so too does the promise of faster response times, better patient outcomes, and a new icon of healthcare excellence for generations to come.
